The Un family poses at the Bay View Family YMCA

“After losing my husband, we went through a very difficult period for a year. My three children still feel the void of their father. And during this difficult time, the people around us, our friends, teachers at school, and the YMCA, have supported us a lot, providing a safe and welcoming space for my children, including childcare that gave us stability when we needed it most.” — Ozlem U., Bay View Family YMCA
